Synchronised dining. Two swans going after something delicious in the water, I presume. All I can see are their bodies on the surface with their wings likely used to balance themselves while their head and neck are underwater. Very elegant. I wonder if one of the two coots swimming in the background is humming "I like big butts"? #swans #coots #lake #forest #nature

Mallards and coots gather at an ice-free spot on Lake Höhenfelder (Cologne-Dellbrück).

#BirdOfTheDay #Preening (alternative prompt) Ducks, Coots and a Blue Heron hanging out together. Some are preening, some are eating and some are just taking in the day at Laguna Lake, San Luis Obispo. #EastCoastKin #Heron #MallardDuck #Coots #Birds

A #EurasianCoot comes straight at the lens, eyes locked, beak centered, no drama needed.
#Amsterdam canals are full of tiny standoffs like this, one bird, one moment, all focus. 👀

Do you read this look as curious or as warning?
